Welcome!

The "Best Case Challenge" is an interactive simulation designed to provide child welfare staff with skill-building tools for conducting optimum home visits. The goal is to move the home visit experience beyond the minimum required and to engage the family using advanced interviewing skills. With the implementation of Family Centered Practice, it is important that Family Services counselors involve the family in decision making and interact with them in a non-threatening and supportive way. During this challenge, you will be able to choose best case questions to use when working with parents while focusing on the five stages of the interview process- preparation, engagement, interview, closing and documentation. At the end of the simulation the "supervisor" will review your score with you.
